This hotel boasts stunning Victorian architecture and beautiful grounds, perfect for those who appreciate historical charm. However, the experience was overshadowed by several issues, including dated rooms and a lack of attentiveness at times. Overall, while the location and views are a major draw, the experience fell short of its luxury promise.

Our stay at this hotel was quite mixed. The location offered stunning views of the Scottish hills, and the grounds were well-maintained, making it a beautiful spot. I enjoyed the spacious and clean rooms, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations, especially with some inconsistencies in food quality. While the staff were generally attentive, there were moments that left a lot to be desired, particularly during busy times. Overall, it had its charms but also areas that could use improvement.

Overall, my stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable with stunning views and delightful spa facilities. The staff were attentive and made my visit special, especially with the personalized touches for special occasions. However, a few aspects such as the need for room updates and minor issues in dining experiences could be improved.

While the rooms were generally nice, our first room had an obstructed view and was quite basic, not justifying the additional cost for an upgrade. After switching to a suite, it was much more satisfactory.
